Customiser?
Hi everyone, In the release notes for the new v3.80.03, Ritlabs have said there is now a customiser in The Bat! Typically, there seems to be no help file entry for this, so can someone who knows what it is, explain what exactly it is, and point me to some instructions on its use? -- Chris (\ /) (O o) ( ) This is Bunny.

TB 3.80.03 and MS Exchange

Need a Virtual Folder Filter
I've lost my VF Filter that looked in Header Field 'References:' to see if the particular message was in reference to something I had posted. Presently, I cannot see how to make a VF Filter for that because looking at 'Filter' from 'Properties' OF the particular filter does not produce the choice for 'Header Field'. Whereas, Looking at filters in a regular account does produce that available choice. The VF I have 'Replies-to-Me' lies in the über-Accounts, or Global, or whatever we want to call it. I want Incoming, unread traffic filtered to see if it's a thread I'm in then mirrored obviously in the VF.

Re: Anyone using TB with dual monitors?
On 04/30/2006, at 4:19 PM, all the little bunnies raised their
ears to hear what Marten Gallagher [EMAIL PROTECTED] had to say:
Is anyone using TB on a Win XP system with dual monitors?
I am having all sorts of anomalies in window behaviour and wonder of there
is anyone else out there with whom it is worth sharing experiences and maybe
solutions.
Yes, I do! *raises hand* I use TB on a WinXP PRO system with dual
monitors.
1) TB insists on centering itself between both monitors when I bring
it back from residing in the sys tray. Half of TB is on one monitor,
the other half is on the other monitor. I have to restore down then
maximize again to get it entirely on one monitor.
2) If TB is on the secondary monitor, new messages are still created
on the primary monitor, and the new message window opens too high and
the bit is cut off, I can't do anything with it but right click on it
in the task bar and hit close. So been keeping TB on my primary
monitor.
3) The Mail Ticker roams around the bottom part of my desktop on both
monitors. If never did this until I got dual monitors.
That's all I can think of right now. Just woke up :P

I can't find a place to select the size. But in View/Toolbars/Customise, when you get the window up with its 3 panels, on the far left panel under Container/Main form click on Standard. Then in the far right panel, Layout, you will see the menu icons currently on your Standard toolbar. Highlight (select) one of those and you will see some Change buttons below. Change Image will show you a choice of icons. I don't think control of the size is offered. When icon size was being discussed in a recent thread on TBBETA, it turned out that many did not still have the file batskin.xml--I found a message where you said you thought you might have lost it in a tbuser.def loss at some point. I meant to offer to send you my batskin.xml file at the time, in case you wanted to see if that would let you access control of icon size, as some of us still have, by setting the pixel values. But then I remembered that I'm using MAU's yellowish icons set, and you might not like those. Anyway, I think at present this is the only way to control icon size: by opening a batskin.xml file in Notepad or other text editor and changing the size numbers.
